Bloodline - Beyond These Silent Walls Lyrics

Curled up on this killing floor
I checked the door
A hundred times or more
So you can’t get in
To the space that I’m within
Away from sin
I reel and spin
Medicate, procrastinate, affiliate, hallucinate
A love of hate
And still I wait
Hear the bolt slide on the gate
To the darkness I am drawn
Waiting for the dawn
And dark, cold waters run
Like a place I once was born
On the other side
Of the glass from where I stare
Self destruction
Please be there.

And as I release the pain
A blade across the vein
And you declare that you are sane
We are sane, I am sane
Yet the voices still remain

Another bridge, another path
Another life engulfed in flame
Another day, another night
Of guilt and shame
Nothing ends and darkness calls
The clock ticks on and on and on and on
Beyond these silent walls

Curled up inside this hollow shell
Seeking hell
Finding heaven there as well
I am the sky and sea
I am the earth and galaxy
I am the air you breathe
I’m tomorrow’s memory
Masturbate, procreate, hallucinate, and contemplate
A love of hate
And still I wait
Hear the bolt slide on the gate
I hear the voices shout
Breathing in and breathing out
I try to see the whole
But details make me small
Yet the colours are all there
Through the glass from where I stare
Destruction
Please be there

And as I release the pain
A blade across the vein
And you declare that you are sane
We are sane, I am sane
Yet the voices still remain

Another bridge, another path
Another life engulfed in flame
Another day, another night
Of guilt and shame
Nothing ends and darkness calls
The clock ticks on and on and on and on
Beyond these silent walls

Opening a vein
Bleeding out the pain
Rubbing out the stain
Seeking out the sane

Opening a vein
Bleeding out the pain
Seeking out the sane
Rubbing out the stain

Staring through my glass
To see the pain again
Staring through my glass
And feel the shame again

Opening a vein
Bleeding out the pain
Rubbing out the stain
Seeking out the sane

I hear the clock in the darkness call
Banging on the wall
Tick tock tick tock
I hear the clock and my pulsing vein
Counting out my fear
Tick tock tick tock
I hear
